Expand Names in a hat for Servette. Let's hope it's a Magic Hat. Maybe should have signed James Milliner. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand They were only out to destroy any sort of football and you can defend much easier with 8 or more players and make the opposition look stupid. It was a not-loosing formation, a formation we call anti-football. I have seen this often last season in Scottish games and der Berliner told me it has become standard. But where can you rank this "standard"? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But where can you rank this "standard"? Expand What you state is correct Idisi, but we are Rangers and it is up to us to break them down using our much better funded squad. You cannot really blame McInnes for playing "anti football" if he succeeds against a team including single players who are worth more than his entire team. He is only using his nous as a football manager to allow his team to achieve a result. And keeping himself in a job. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 4,151 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 On 06/08/2023 at 12:44, Rousseau said: I was responding to this point: "Coming to think of it, in these games, we should try Dessers/Danilo and Roofe up front and Lammers directly behind them. We need able strikers up top, and we still play but one." We played 2 strikers, arguably three as Sima is more of a forward rather than a winger. Expand It's more like where they played. We had one centre-forward in their box, while the others where roaming about the sides our outside the area. I want them inside the area and the passes coming to them there, not from them in the hope that a midfielder et al covers the space too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah, a helpful player in that regard, but the received wisdom seems to be that he didn't fancy another season of Scottish hammer throwing, and Scottish refereeing. Thus, he would have been more the conscript than the volunteer. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Tillman has gone, get over it. He was good in a poor team when he could be interested. He was brutally anonymous when he couldn't be bothered, which was too often. If he does return to Ibrox with PSV I hope we kick lumps off him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 We, as a support, have a weird tendency to pine for former players (and managers). We're so sentimental, it's almost creepy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
